A collection of three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the modern-day reader and containing romance, tragedy, love, sex and honour.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values.
Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters.
Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien’s.
The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals.

  • Максим Лещукje citiralaпре 3 године
    But no marvel it is if mad be a fool,

    and by the wiles of woman to woe be brought.

    For even so Adam by one on earth was beguiled,

    and Solomon by several, and to Samson moreover

    his doom by Delilah was dealt; and David was after

    blinded by Bathsheba, and he bitterly suffered.

    Now if these came to grief through their guile, a gain ’twould be vast

    to love them well and believe them not, if it lay in man’s power!

    As a pearl than white pease is prized more highly,

    so is Gawain, in good faith, than other gallant knights.

    But in this you lacked, sir, a little, and of loyalty came short.

    But that was for no artful wickedness, nor for wooing either,

    but because you loved your own life: the less do I blame you.’

    ‘I will have no gifts, fore God, of your grace at this time.

    I have none to return you, and naught will I take.’
